How You P0cs ct the Profits.

When you buy ready made cloth
ing you have to pay a profit to the
wholesaler and a profit to the re-
taller. These two profits the retail
buyer pays, and these make the price
come high. Now contrast the diff
ferent system at the MIsFIT PAR
LoRs. Instead Of paying either
wholesale or retail profit, you really
pocket what the tailors lose. We
don't pay full value for any of our
goods. We frequently pick them up
at less than one-half their original
value. The tailors have to part with
them for what they can get, and thus
we are able to offer you the best
tailor made clething far lower than
you can buy ready made.

REDWOOD CITY. March 24.-In the
Moore. Hopkins breach of promise suit.
the defendant was placed on the witness
staad to-day. He testified to knowing
Mrs. Moore first in 1878, having visited
her at her rooms on Market street for
the purpose of finding out about the hair
restorative kept for sale by Mrs. Moore.
At her suggestion he permitted her to
rub his head with the lotion. He went
to see her at Market street and at her
reside ence frequently; generally twice o
week, and had his head rubbed. He
gave her money from time to time,
generally about $50 month.
He kept up these payments
until Mrs. Moore or her friends asked
larger sums. Mr.. Hopkins denies in
toto that he promised to marry Mrs.
Moore, except talking nonsense. He
says that the marriage proposal described
by Mrs. Moore in her testimony was a
mistake. The defendant denied having
given Mrs. Moore $1,000 in one sum pre-.
vious to his marriage. The waiver of all
claims by Mrs. Moore, in consideration
of $4,000, was read and admitted in evi.
dence. The defendant rested his case.
In rebuttal the plaintiff was placed on
the stand. In regard to the renuncia-
tion paper, she denied having, of her
knowledge, executed that instrument.
Both sides then closed. The arguments
will be made tomorrow.
